Direct3D Error - 'accelerator too old'

Hello everyone.

My specs:
Q9400 2 3.4ghz
Nvidia GTX 260
2x2gb OCZ Reapers
Gigabyte EP-45 UD3L Mobo

I'm running Dolphin build SVN R 3972 with all the built-in plugins.

So, I'm trying to run Wind Waker with the Direct3D plugin and this is the error message I get:

"Sorry, but it looks like your 3D accelerator is too old, or doesn't support features that Dolphin requires. Falling back to software vertex processing."

So, I click OK and get this:

"Software VP failed too. Upgrade your graphics card."

What the hell? I find it hard to believe that Dolphin would require something above a GTX 260. My OpenGL works fine, I would just very much like to be able to run Direct3D.

Any ideas?

Can you point me to a link? This was the only build offered on the Dolphin web site, figured it was the most recent.

Ok, thanks for the replies. I downloaded the very latest version - SVN R 4429, didn't see any Direct3D plugin so I updated my DirectX.

Now I see the Direct3D plugin, but when I try to load Wind Waker this is what I get:

Failed to initialize Direct3D.

What is going on here?
